5:46 am Chase is excited and does wing flaps and goes up and down and back up again on the stump. I do believe Chase is a mama's baby.

5:58 pm Trooper comes to the nest and grabs a fish. Ma still on the branch. Trooper begins to eat some fish while the eaglets squee. It is a learning experience to learn to grab food when it is there.

6:01 am Trooper is eating. Chase is tracking something above. Want mention Trooper still has that horse-like voice. Noticed it when he came to the nest.

7:05 am: Just went through rollback since Sandy's last post. No change in significant activity. East embedded cam is not working. I am going to report that before logging onto cams.
It's a great event to get outside and enjoy nature. I find it very exciting no matter how many times I see bald eagles.
